[RESOLVED] Scandisk Freeze

I hope someone here can help or steer me in the right direction.
I am running Win98. When I run Scandisk, it will freeze anywhere between 35,000 and 75,000. This has been happening for about the last month.
It does not have a virus, and doesn't use Pheonix BIOS and yes, I do know how to turn everything off that is running in the background. It doesn't stop and restart. It freezes and I have to turn the machine off. Even Ctrl+Alt+delete won't get me out of it. It will finish the scan from DOS with no errors found.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried running scandisk in safe mode? There is also an issue with Mcafee 5.1 causing this problem.

Try turning off automatic repairs.

Just try to let ScanDisk complete his job...let the computer work for about 1 night and this should be okay.

I had a similar problem one time.

Good Luck

Try it in Dos mode, then try it again in Windows. Probably has an error it's having a hard time fixing. I've had this before as well.

Turn on view all files and folders, find the Applog folder I believe this is in the windows folder Delete it.Reboot windows will recreate the folder on boot run scandisk all should be fine now. There is a MS Knowledge base article on this.

You can run, but you will only die tired!

Thank you for all of your replies.

Sync's suggestion to delete the Applog folder did the trick. Thanks Sync!
